What a way to end the year! We finished 2019 on a beautiful yacht with a couple who we met in 2018 at a wedding. I love how stories tie together. Deborah is the mom of one of our 2018 brides so being able to photograph her wedding after her daughters was really special.

My 2020 couples are blessing me with new locations and experiences and I’m so thankful! For Clare and Zach’s session we went down to Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis and traversed the land! It is such a beautiful park: gazebos, trees, fields, high grass, and water! My favorite part (besides hanging with these two cuties!) were seeing all the fluffer puppers!!  Even at the brightest part of the day, we were able to find some open shade and get some fun photos. 

We’re excited to share this wedding for a couple reasons. When we became wedding photographers and as I stalked other photographers I thought the world of, I noticed these Naval Academy weddings that I just thought were so beautiful! It quickly became a bucket list venue for us about 2 years ago. 

When we met Sarah and Stephen, I swore that they wouldn’t hire us for the sheer reason that we couldn’t get childcare for Zeke and we had to bring him to our Starbucks meeting. We met with them, Zeke cried most the time, and I ended up facilitating the meeting so Patrick could walk around with a crying baby… oh and it was rainy and we were all in close quarters. Yikes.

Oh Annapolis. Sometimes I think I probably should have been an Annapolis raised girl, only because I love the water, love to sail, love the feel of small towns, local shops, unique food, and love our country and our military.

When James and Jenn said they wanted their photos to be some where different, somewhere not in Baltimore, I knew where to take them. They really wanted photos throughout Annapolis, including at USNA. So, we ventured throughout town. We of course picked by accident the same day as a huge boat show right down Ego Alley, but even still, you wouldn’t have known that Annapolis was swamped with boat show peeps.

Jenn and James, we loved our time with you. Thanks for letting us go a little longer than we were supposed to get you a pretty sweet night shot.

YAH! So Genevieve and Alex kicked off our 2018 Spring Wedding Season with a GORGEOUS wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club!! We have been looking forward to this wedding for months, probably because 1) They were the first of the Spring season, 2) our bride is our WeddingWire sales rep (which is awesome!) and 3) because we knew it would be a wedding packed full of details, details, details!

These guys opted for quiet waters park in Annapolis because that’s home for them. They both are military and Sarah is a naval academy grad! Their sweet sweet pup Scarlet did awesome! Stephen and Sarah, You guys rocked your session, even though it was cold cold!!! We can’t wait for your wedding day to come!

When we show up to a meeting and the bride has already decided she’s going to hire you because she loves your work, AND her fiancé said, “They snowboard and have the same vehicles? Hire them.” You gotta love it.
